I got some really delicious food from this restaurant. The oxtail, rice and peas, and ackee and saltfish were prepared with love. It was very reminiscent of food I get back home in Jamaica.

If you want authentic Jamaican food in Jersey City, Violet’s is the restaurant to visit! I am a repeat customer and every time I order the food here it is always a hit ! From the curry goat to the stew chicken, every dish made at Violet’s is clearly done well! Check it out for yourself ! Violet’s does not disappoint.

Violet's is the place that made me fall in love with Jamaican food! I started out with the curry chicken three years ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Everything here hits the spot—from the savory jerk chicken and rich, flavorful oxtail to their patties and wings. If you're looking for authentic flavor and amazing food, definitely pass by and grab a bite.
